[@Quiet1uadore]

Thanks for bulider gel tip near the cuticle. I've been struggling with flooding, but this is perfect!!❤❤

[@desertrose88]

i did not know that tip for the primer!!! now it all makes sense!

[@Nailcou]

😉

[@i.8885]

You can also buy prebuffed tips

[@i.8885]

I've also used builder gel on a pot and acrylic to adhere them. With acrylic you just need to wait a few minutes until it's cured

[@marynssonf]

Black + neon pink = wow. Loved it. But I didn't love the shorter videos. 😅

[@foreva4eva385]

I love this method. Gonna fix my 2 broke nails taday😊❤❤❤

[@BrittMFH]

Beautiful manicure! Thank you. 💞

[@beaniesatthebeach8457]

I needed to hear that "acid primer" tip😮

[@altereli9631]

But do we cure the acid primer underneath the nail tip, before we add a coat of gel tip glue?

[@rubsymoon839]

You don't need to cure the primer, let it air dry 😊​@@altereli9631

[@yoyostorychannel]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@susanneandersson7615]

I love them😍

Love them ❤

[@Nailcou]

Thank you ! 😘

[@patricianox2241]

Hi Anastasia!! Love this tip! I have a question, maybe you can help me. Is it possible to do this same technique with nails that have already a design? Like press on gels in for example purple color, or the led light won't go trought the color and cure the gel that you use to attach it to the nail, as the tips aren't transparent? I hope I am explaining well!!! Thak u ❤❤

[@jasmineh.2775]

You may be able to use press on tips that have a semi-transparent base (like a french) but nothing that is too opaque as, like you mentioned, the lamp will not fully cure the gel underneath and can cause you to have semi/uncured gel that can lead to allergies. If you struggle with nail art but want to try Gel-X (soft gel extensions) you can look into gel stickers that you can apply to the extensions, or even nail foils 😊

[@maggiehoward7020]

So lovely 🥰

[@angelarobertson7004]

Very pretty

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

Great video. ❤

[@Nailcou]

Thank you!

[@hailisanpedro4143]

Im curious what cuticle remover cream did u use? It is not in the description

[@mimose5747]

Is the base coat supposed applied before the nail is glued on? Because after the correct nail size was selected, the nail looked bare again…?

[@i.8885]

You apply base on the nail, cure and then apply the tip

[@TheCupofthea]

may be you can help me. when I apply tips like that on the side wall it is not glued like on the the cuticule. what can I do. i can’t hold everything in ounce 😃

[@stephanielong7997]

I have that problem, too, because tips don't usually fit my steep sidewalls. Sometimes, I'm able to bend and roll to the sidewall of the tips just a little to get them to fit better. I also go back in with a super fine detail brush after about an initial 20 second cure and add a little more glue under the sidewall where it lifts. That way, the main part of the nail is set, and I can focus on just holding down and curing each lifted side. I hope that makes sense and helps a little 😊

[@TheCupofthea]

@@stephanielong7997 thank you

[@popitzikaliou7]

No need for extra base coat on top of the tip? We create an apex with the rubber base for the nail to last. How's the correct way?

[@Nailcou]

Builder gel was used on top to fill the area near the cuticle + on top . You can use rubber base for it too, but I personally prefer builder gels . You don’t need to build apex on these tips, it depends on the tips, if they are completely flat, then you need to do it.

[@Ameliesshit._.]

Hello! I have one question do i have to use Dehydrator ? Because i have everything at home exept Dehydrator ... And I don't know if i need to apply Dehydrator before primer or can i just use primer ? Thank you if you would answer ! Have a nice Day / evening ❤

[@happyaccident4901]

It's preferred, but you can also use rubbing alcohol, since it will dehydrate your nails a bit and get rid of the dust and oils:) acetone also dehydrates nails, but I don't know if its recommended to use like that

[@Ameliesshit._.]

Thank you so much ! ❤​@@happyaccident4901

[@i.8885]

Use either pure alcohol or pure acetone, before primer. That's what dehydrator is essentially, it's job is to remove oils

[@Ameliesshit._.]

yes, thank you so much for all the tipps !! ❤​@@i.8885

[@crucialily]

Is there a reason why adding primer to the whole nail doesn't allow for soak off?

[@Nailcou]

It provides very strong adhesion with the nail plate, so the solvents (acetone) won't be able to break it later

[@i.8885]

​@@Nailcouunless you are me. I do nails for others and they last but on me I get a lof of lifting at the second week😂

[@Darlingdumpling23]

How would you remove gel if primer has been applied to the whole nail plate ?

[@i.8885]

@@Darlingdumpling23 by e file and leaving a thin layer on the nail

[@michelec4042]

Would this be able to be filled since there is gel and not nail tip at the cuticle?

[@Nailcou]

Yes 🙂

[@meektillz]

Will soft gel tips work?

[@i.8885]

It's the same thing just different product used for them.

[@carltongirl95]

Anna is doing nail's now Anastasia ?...she did a wonderful job and made it look so easy...thank you for sharing xo 💜💅

[@Nailcou]

That’s a different Anna 😁 this name is quite popular among Russians 😄

[@carltongirl95]

@Nailcou thank you Anastasia 💜

[@MsWannaRock]

Thank you for this video, it's really helpful. But judging by the title, I would have expected you give an explanation for the gap that must be filled in with builder gel later. What does this method help with? I have never applied gel x tips before but am planning on trying it soon, so I would like to know why I shouldn't apply the tips close to the cuticle. Thank you! 😊

[@sarainannarbor]

Sometimes I leave a gap just because the nail tip fits a lot better without me having to file the sides. Also, it just looks more natural when it grows out because the builder gel fill the gap and it looks smoother.

[@jasmineh.2775]

It allows for a much more natural grow out! I find even if you seal the cuticle area with acetone and even with e-file, you wont get that super flush grow out (especially if youre doing a more natural or nude look). It does add some extra time and also learning how to get that builder gel looking lovely and smooth but trust it makes your set look beautiful for longer 🩷

[@MabbyGomez]

Que pasó con los videos en español???????😢

[@marielanders4806]

You mean Russian? She has a Russian channel. This is her English channel.

[@mirandaberggren9244]

Can u use any tips? Can i do this with fake nails from a store?

[@Nailcou]

It won't work very well with press on nails, however I tried it too - but the gap near the cuticle should be smaller

Is Anna the same Anna from your videos? Did she change careers?

[@Nailcou]

No 😊

[@steemdup]

The black nails look rather creepy, but I like this optional method of doing nails without tools.

[@MrsSherrymcm]

I tried this type of nails… and I personally hated them. I’m a dip powder girl. No artificial nail, just dip powder on my natural nails.

[@nataliarn6888]

😢😢 the music in the background make it so messy… noo ana i love your voice alone i can focus and understand better😢

Thanks for the feedback ! Will work on improving audio 🤗

[@cutebloons]

If you're doing your own hand why say "we"?

[@Nailcou]

This tutorial was performed by my colleague, as I mentioned in the beginning 😊 when it comes to some technique - such as using cuticle scissors, we both prefer it, so I thought "we" would work better.

[@jollyrancherchick]

She clearly says “Hi guys, this is Anastasia and my colleague, Anna, will be doing this tutorial today for you on her own nails.” lol

[@solr3348]

Hello, I have a question for my nail file.🤍 When changing the rotation, do i have to turn the power all the way off, or is it enough to turn the rotation to 0?

[@Darlingdumpling23]

How would you remove nails if you did use primer on the entire nail plate ?🥲
